New records of Trichinella patagoniensis from Argentina.

Trichinella spiralis was long considered the sole Trichinella species in Argentina. However, since 2004, various Trichinella species, including the encapsulated Trichinella patagoniensis and Trichinella britovi, as well as the unencapsulated Trichinella pseudospiralis, have been detected in the country. The present study aimed to identify Trichinella ML at the species level from cougars naturally infected from Argentina.

Trichinella spp. causes human trichinellosis by means of the consumption of raw or inadequately treated meat from domestic or game animals. In the Americas, as well as in other continents, Trichinella infection is a health issue for humans and has a negative impact on the pork meat market, generated by people's fear of becoming infected with the parasite.

Trichinellosis is a foodborne parasitic disease caused by Trichinella spp. Different methods, such as cooking, freezing and irradiation, have been suggested to inactivate the parasite in meat infected with Trichinella spp. The International Commission on Trichinellosis (ICT) recommends an irradiation dose of 0.
